The Sweet Chestnut tree is not part of the traditional Celtic tree Ogham. However, it is a deciduous tree and therefore has a real presence in any woodland. Please dont confuse this tree with the more common Horse Chestnut or conker tree. The Sweet Chestnut is much more majestic and prodces the edible chestnuts that are a delicacy raosted in the winter season.
